Constantly getting "Threat secured" notice, for VBS Downloader and FOMI.TXT

Every hour I am getting a few warning notices stating Avast has secured the threats FOMI.TXT and moved it to the vault. Accompanying the FOMI.txt warning I am also getting one that says VBS Downloader Atj Trj for wscript is a threat that has been moved to the vault.

I didn’t get this threat spamming 3 days ago, it really only started about 2 days ago and has been popping up with frequency from yesterday (March 10th)

I’m getting same problem every so often with wscript.exe and dosa.txt warnings. Avast says moved to virus chest but on checking the chest is empty, strange. Looked on google and it looks like this is a recent phenomena effecting other people. AVG users also experiencing same problem : ie: https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9060N000000PgtCQAS refers. Hopefully Avast can sort problem out asap as it is annoying. regards dave.

Hi,

download the autoruns from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns and go to tasks page. Look for task which spawns wscript. It may have name starting with Yahoo or Chromium.

Delete that task and you will get rid of this.
